Hi folks,

Here's a preview of our up and coming release sculpted by Maurice Corry.

120mm SS MG34 Gunner.

Cheers

I think, this pic was the template of the gunner...:



But the soldier in the Picture carries his helmet hanging at his belt and shores his arm upon it.

"Moz" however put the helmet on his head, which is why - I think! - the arm now somehow looks unnatural ...

Sorry - only my two Cents...

Hi Martin,

You're right, this was the picture Moz used as reference. We asked Moz to sculpt the helmet on the head, the soldier is now smoking a cigarette instead of
resting his arm on his helmet.

The pose works very well for me....BUT.....what's happened from the neck up?
The helmet seems to be lacking its front rim-while the cover looks great the overall shape of the helmet seems wrong.
And I know the guy in the photo is no oil painting but the figure's face looks a little naive.
I hope I'm not being over picky 'cos I love Moz's stuff but I'd have to replace that bonce.

Hi

Nice one Ross. I think it would compliment the old Verlinden 120mm WSS NCO.

Cheers
